Howdy.
I have read somewhere that you are considering support for profilers. I
think it would be interesting if you could have a look at OProfile
(http://oprofile.sourceforge.net).
Oprofile is a sampling profiler that profiles the running system in its
entirety (like VTune and unlike gprof). This means that it doesn't
require you to re-compile stuff in any way. Also, it profiles library
calls.
The down side (?) of oprofile is that it requires a kernel module to be
installed.
OProfile is -- just like gprof -- Free under the GNU GPL.
Note that I have neither downloaded nor used oprofile. I have however
had some goes at gprof, and been hit by it not profiling system library
calls. OProfile seems like it should be able to solve such problems.
Cheers //Johan
